During Tool Changes, Bore Orient cycles, Rigid Tap cycles, and Spindle Orient commands, the Spindle orients to a position to align the Spindle Drive Key to a specific angle. Typically, a proximity switch or encoder marker is used to determine the absolute position of the spindle nose, and then an offset set in the Servo Drive Amplifier is used to command the Spindle to rotate to the angle.
